I am fully aware of the critical moments we face as a country.

There is a mass of immigrants, a million of them without work. We will stop this invasion.

During the socialist period, the government became too big. That created a crowding-out effect in the private economy, and it gave everybody the need to pay more taxes in order to finance this big government. We are against big government. We want a smaller and more efficient government.

There are going to be a lot of problems with social cohesion. We are already cutting down everything to the bone. Unless there is light at the end of the tunnel.

We believe that what they call "Grexit" [a Greek exit from the eurozone] is not an option for us.

We have decreased the salaries of everybody who partakes in politics, from the president to the prime minister to the MPs [members of Parliament]. We have cut expenditures that have to do with parliament. Everybody knows we are serious.

Our first goal is to stop the recession and start with recovery.
